ZEGO’s Organic Plant Protein

Last Updated on January 17, 2021 by Colleen

Organic Plant Protein

Our organic Plant Protein contains 100% sacha inchi seeds and has no flavors or sweeteners. Sacha inchi seeds have the best amino acid profile of all the plant proteins on the market, including pea, rice, soy, and hemp (other plant proteins are typically low in lysine and tryptophan). And, we purity test our protein to ensure it meets California’s strict quality standards for heavy metals and that tests free of glyphosate and over 400 other commercial chemicals. You can see the results on our Purity Testing section or by scanning the QR code on the package.

Sacha inchi protein is a whole food product, not an isolate like other plant proteins that are processed with chemicals or enzymes. That means our protein is easier on your stomach, and you digest up to 30% more than the other isolated proteins, which pass through your system too quickly for you to digest all of it. Our 17g is comparable to 24g of protein isolate.

Better Taste

Our Organic Plant Protein is made by cold pressing lightly roasted seeds to remove the oil. The remaining seed meal is ground into this protein powder. You’ll notice a warm, slightly roasted flavor in the powder.

Superior Nutrition

• Sacha inchi protein is a whole food product that is simply roasted, cold pressed, and ground. It is not an isolate like other plant proteins that are processed with chemicals or enzymes. That means our protein has no chemical residue and is easier to digest. In fact, you absorb up to 30% more than the other isolated proteins, which pass through your system too quickly for you to digest completely.
• Sacha inchi protein also has a superior amino acid profile to other plant proteins like rice, soy, pea or hemp protein.
• 65% protein by weight.

More Special Features

Top 12 allergy free, vegan. Safe for athletes with top allergies. Sacha inchi seeds are a little “nutty” in flavor, but there NO nuts in it.

About our Farms

Sacha inchi seeds grow in Thailand and Peru. We source from Peru because we are concerned about the amount of toxic chemicals in Thailand. But, Thailand is working to regenerate their farmland. We are crossing our fingers they will have great success, and we will keep an eye on their progress.

Preparation

Since we do not add flavors or sweeteners to our protein, it is a delicious as a substitute for 1/3-1/2 of your dry ingredients in baked goods like muffins and pancakes.

It does have a granular texture, so if you use it in smoothies, we recommend adding some nut or seed butter, which helps to smoothe out the texture.

Makes delicious protein brownies!

Some hard-core muscle builders will combine our protein with water after a workout to protein load.
